GWT hosted mode in infinity loop when debugging

[maticpetek]

Hello,
I'm developing one project in GWT for more then a year now. Of
course I add new code all the time. But one week ago debug mode stop
working. When I run my project in Eclipse in debug mode, GWT hosted
mode is started but then java process start using 100% CPU time and
takes infinity time (ok, after 30 minutes I kill the process). If i
run my project in run mode, everything works OK and it start in couple
of seconds.
I'm using OS X Leopard / Eclipse 3.3 / GWT 1.4.62. I also update on
Eclipse 3.4 / GWT 1.5.2 and Eclipse 3.3 / GWT 1.5.2, but nothing
change - debug mode was still fell in infinity loop. I check log file
directory in ".gwt-logs" and ".settings", but nothing is their. I
thing something must be wrong with my code in GWT compiler, because I
am developing (debugging( some other project on some machine, Eclipse
and GWT without any problem.
Could you please help me somehow. I'm really tired of debugging my
code with GWT.log(....). Thank you.

Regards,
Matic

Without going into details, my advice is to first look at everything
you added to your project since it stopped working. Speaking from
personal experience, more than 99% of the time, it's something I've
added that has caused the problem and not the vendor's. One other
thing would be to create a new Debug... action in Eclipse. Can you
build and run your project outside of Eclipse? Also try doing a
Project/Clean.... Sometimes that helps. Back in the old days of
Eclipse 3.1, we had to rebuild the project every once in a while but
deleting the source from the project (not the file system) and
reimporting. This wasn't a GWT project and we haven't seen anything
like that in a long time. That's about all I've got....

Matic,

I just started having the exact same problem! I'm using IntelliJ not
Eclipse, though. The debugger just keeps looping. When I forcibly
pause the process, I see that it's always somewhere in the RPC service
instantiation process and never finishes it (i.e. GWT.create()).

I don't think this is an Eclipse or IntelliJ problem. Perhaps
something strange introduced in GWT 1.5.3?

I have no idea how to solve this. I've tried cleaning everything,
restarting IDE, computer, cleaning all GWT directories, etc. I can
only run the project now, not debug it.

I think I just solved the problem by reverting my IntelliJ project
files to an earlier state. It wasn't any new code that I had written
- looks like just the project files got out of whack somehow. Good to
back those up often.

Had the same problem, in my case, the hang was 5 minutes of 50% CPU,
since the project is barely started (3000 LOC)

A full rebuild fixed the problem
